We currently have a couple of projects that use the Radxa Rock 5B SBC as base platform. It's a nice ARM board based on the Rockchip RK3588. Upstream support for the CPU has improved quite a bit during the course of 2024, making it a solid choice for ARM PoCs and other projects. Read on to discover how to run NixOS on the board.
At Cyberus, we use Nix and NixOS for reproducible, declarative builds and configurations. In a research project exploring VMI under Linux/KVM, we faced challenges packaging a key component. This post covers those difficulties and our solution.
#Embedded systems need to last decades, but evolving ecosystems, security threats, and software complexity make this challenging.
Enter #NixOS: a Linux distribution designed for long-term reliability, with reproducible builds and declarative configurations that simplify management. From medical devices to #robotics, it’s the ideal solution for future-proofing embedded systems.
